This [[RS232]] interface was published as a DIY project in a special edition of the the German magazine: [[CPC Schneider International Sonderheft]] (#3-1986) and also in a later issue. As the standard CPC series does not include a [[RS232]], this interface was very handy in order to communicate with other computers(eg. IBM PCs). A major drawback was the missing interrupt line which means that your programs have to poll the interface. == Software == A terminal program, written by [[The Cranium]], for this serial interface was published in the last issue of the [[CPC Schneider International]] (12/1 1992/1993).
